Someone told me dish soap is a good sub for K&N brand cleaner so I did it. But what about oil?? Anything safe and effective or is it K&N brand oil or nothing?

 

why do you need a substite for the oil?

 

he's prob too cheap to buy the real thing..

 

the k&n oil is very cheap man. Why take a chance using cheap stuff whil only saving a buck or two???

 

i dont know if he has limited access to k&n,but i would not scimp on any oil,lube or filter.

 

I'm not cheap. It's just Saturday night heading into Easter Sunday and I washed the filter thinking my brother had some oil but he doesn't and I really wanted to ride on sunday. Can I find that oil at Wal-mart or some other place that would be open on Easter Sunday?? If so, problem solved....

 

the last time i checked,wal-mart didnt carry anything close to k&n, but you might find something close.tough call.

 

ah, but would it be safe?? I have foam filter oil (PJ-1) for my UNI filter on my Tecate 4 but that probably would harm the K&N for my R, right?

 

if wal-mart etc. doesnt have anything in automotive,try in the lawn & garden section,i wouldnt imagine it would hurt anything for a days ride in non dust conditions.

 

over the years,i have used just about anything.pj should not harm your filter,it may be a little tougher to remove from the k&n.
